must also be accounted for. The truth is, that
the failure of both races to vote is attributed
TO the same causes, and unless the Republican
party is prepared TO adopt compulsory suffrage.
il Will find its efforts TO remove the present
ground OF complaint as fruItless as its orig
ipsl attempt TO secure permanent asceadency
in the South by enfranchising the negro.
That there are individual and isolated cases
of unlawful interference, by both ces, with the
right Of suffrage in the South, is doubtless true,
but the statement is true OF other parts OF the
couatry as well: and IN fact, in half the sccus-
atoms made by the public press are well found
e.. the voter is much less free from coerciye and
corruptlng influences in the great centers OF
population and business il the North than he
is anywhere south OF the Potomac and Ohio.
The Democratic party is as competent and as
willing to punish these crimes against the
purity and independence of the ballot as the
Republican party is Notwithstanding the lat
ter's boast OF superiority in morality and patri-
otism The right Of the negro to vote is Sc
cured by a constitutional provision which FRO
hibits Discrimination against him on account OF
his race or color and in every Democratic
State the free exercise Of this right is protected
by the same statutes that apply to the white
citizen II can not be asserted, or at least it
can not be proved, that these statutes are not
impGrtially enforced by the courts ard luries
in Democratic communities; nor can it be
shown that there exists anywhere purpose to
abridge the right OF suffrage either by a change
of the constitution or q repeal OF the existing
laws upon the subject.
For Ten years after the close of the
war the Republican party had Cndisputed
control of the Federal Government in
ell its departments, and during that
period it not only failed to make necessary re-
forms in the public service or to legislate for
the promotion Of the general welfare. but il
criminally neglected the material interests OF
the masses OF the people, and, in its anxiety to
win the applause and support OF aggregated
capital, it laid the foundation for many new
abuses which hSve since grown TO alarming
proportions 1t virtually DESTROYED the Ameri-
can navy and merchant marine. 1t squancered

Without word, but with face as

doorway, and the quick step up the
stairs testified to the existence of the
mothers sudden dread and pain.
The man left thus stranded was

He stared at the girl before him with

Edith's hand sought the door for
support; though she kept so bold a

He looked at her young face rigid
with contempt and horror. and despite
his anger could not but admire her.
